DSVs are often fitted for ROV support and other underwater surveys. Autonomous survey vessels [11] are more economical to operate than crewed vessels, and can be sent into waters that are too shallow or confined or otherwise hazardous for larger crewed vessels. Autonomous underwater vehicles are more economical than crewed vehicles.
